I'm a sucker for old-school RPG titles, and I am so glad that the Switch brought over Star Ocean: First Departure. And for a really fair/decent price too! The reason I'm giving this game a solid 8.5/10 is because of how amazing the storyline is, given how old this game really is. It's fast-paced, open-world, the skill/level-up system is amazing, and I honestly feel as though this game along with many other titles came out too early for their generation/era of games. Superb title and highly recommended for Open World JRPG fans!

Nostalgia-inducing port to relive the feels with a few additions to the remake. Still a great game! Thumbs up! Although, I did expect more to be added or "remastered" when I heard they were going to bring it on to the N. Switch. They could've at least edited the sprites to match the FDR artwork.
